Description du lieu patrimonial
Heritage Conservation District III consists of 19 Late Victorian style residences built between 1884 and 1910, located on Victoria and King Streets in the urban core of Truro, Nova Scotia. Two of the buildings and their surrounding properties are individually designated heritage sites.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Heritage Conservation District III is valued as a representation of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Truro during its period of rapid growth as a railway and industrial centre. The District consists of residential buildings that were originally homes to merchants and tradesmen, representative of the secondary industries that arose as part of an economic boom experience by Truro during that period. In many ways, the evolution of the District through the years and the history of the people who lived here mirror the evolution of the town and its economy.
The District also valued as one of the best preserved nineteenth century residential neighbourhoods in Nova Scotia. Built between 1884 and 1910, the homes display a wide variety of Late Victorian architectural styles, while still maintaining a high degree of consistency in terms of scale, placement, materials and use. This consistency is evident in the later buildings in the District, as they were constructed to be in harmony with the older buildings.
